Category:Community

The linux-sunxi community is the Open Source community that gathered around the Allwinner SoCs. It sees only very limited support from Allwinner itself (usually, and only since recently, some code drops and some documentation). Very few people in this community make a living from working on this hardware, and thus most are volunteers spending their free time and their own money. There are however a few companies which actively contribute to our community, and their hardware is the best supported.

Contribute

The best way to contribute is to install linux-sunxi software on your own hardware, and to work through our countless howtos and tutorials to get your hardware supported as you want it. You will undoubtedly run into things which are either wrong, not completely documented or broken. By subsequently improving our wiki and our software you will not only help linux-sunxi and countless linux-sunxi users, you will also be helping yourself.

Caveat: Our wiki sometimes is refused access by the SMTP server and unable to send emails. If when creating a user account on the wiki, after several hours you do not get your account creation email, contact us on IRC.
